RepostBy @hovig_guitar_: "Our legendary guitar solo of the day is the solo performed in "NOTHING ELSE METTERS" by Metallica's legendary guitarists Mr. KIRK HAMMETT and JAMES HETFIELD. "Nothing Else Matters" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released in 1992 as the third single from their self-titled fifth studio album, Metallica. The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart as well as top-ten positions on many European charts. The song recognized as one of Metallica's best known and most popular songs, it has become a staple in live performances. James Hetfield wrote the song (credited to Hetfield/Ulrich in 1990 while he was on the phone with his then girlfriend. Since he held the phone with one hand, he plucked the four open strings of a standard E-minor chord with the other, which eventually made up the first two bars of the song. The lyrics, which talk about being "so close, no matter how far", were also dedicated to his girlfriend, indicating the bond they shared even when Hetfield was on tour. Its intro is an E minor arpeggio beginning with the open low E followed by the open G, B and high E strings. It is one of the few Metallica songs in which Hetfield plays the guitar solo. Given that Hetfield recorded all rhythm and most harmony tracks on the band's first five albums and that Hammett has stated he didn't learn how to play the song until they were well into the tour for the album. "Nothing Else Matters” is a song for the centuries. Possibly one of the greatest songs of the 20th Century and it still is one of the most played songs in live concerts. Why? Because this song has the power to move people. A song that was never meant to be released, later became the identity of the metal group Metallica.#jameshetfield#kirkhammett#metallica#metallicacover#larsulrich#guitarist#jasonnewsted#nothingelsematters#greatguitarist#greatmusician#guitars#greatmusic#greatsong#metallicafamily#guitarsdaily#guitarporn#guitarspotter#guitargod#rocklegend#rockguitarist#metalgods#metalguitarist#metalhero#metalguitar#metallegend#rockguitar#espguitars#gibsonguitars#guitarlive#gibsonlespaul

'Cause I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight im gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
Florence + the Machine - Shake it out

I love having music on at almost all times. I listen to it in my headphones at work, when I’m cleaning the house, getting ready in the morning, in the car… just about any time really.⠀
⠀
I have a pretty diverse and eclectic taste in music (although I did have an ex tell me that I have ‘undiscerning’ taste in music – I prefer my version!) so at any time I’m listening to a very random mix of things.⠀
⠀
I haven’t ever really talked about music much on my blog which is a bit crazy seeing as though I love having my very own soundtrack to life at all times.⠀
⠀
Seriously though, I’ve often thought that if I had an option to have a running soundtrack to my life the way movies and tv shows have songs under almost every major moment I would opt in for that every day!⠀
⠀
Today on the blog I'm sharing a mix of some songs that I’ve been loving lately (in fact ‘loving lately’ is literally the name of my most played playlist on Spotify, and if you're keen to follow my playlists over on Spotify my username there is lauren-lately). ⠀
Click the link in my profile to check it out and see what songs I have on repeat right now.⠀

Day 84/90...today was a GOOD day! After my horrible run last Wednesday, I decided I was done feeling that way. So starting last Thursday, I completely cut out Coke, sugary junk, and other simple carbs. Now a week later, I’m over 6 pounds lighter and have a lot more energy. Today we were supposed to only run 2.5 miles with 3 minute/30 second intervals. Because I felt so good and the weather was not too humid, I decided to try doubling up on the intervals—6 minutes running and 30 seconds walking. I was able to stick with it through the entire run. Today was honestly the first time I felt like my old self from 2-3 years ago. Ten more days until the Sunburst. I’m ready!

Today’s song is another one from Dave Pettigrew. (Shocker, I know!) I had it on repeat during the car ride to and from Notre Dame. So, so, so good!

“Every day I think so small
Not seeing who You are and how You surround me
There are so many times I fall
But from my knees, I learn to see, how high you carry me
What could separate us from your mighty hands
Not life, not death, nor hell on earth, could ever stand a chance
How deep, how wide, how strong is the love of Jesus
How deep, how wide, how strong is the love of Jesus”@davepettigrew#theloveofjesus#sogood#greatvoice#greatsong#thatvoicethough#haveimentionedthatvoice
